Flow control devices in tubular systems are employed for a multitude of purposes. One such purpose, as employed in the hydrocarbon recovery industry, is to equalize production flow across a length of wellbore to more evenly and thoroughly empty multiple reservoirs distributed along the wellbore. Without the inflow control devices, portions of the formation having higher permeability and thus higher flow rates could become depleted of hydrocarbon sooner than other portions of the formation that have lower permeability. Once depleted of hydrocarbon those portions of the formation may begin producing water that needs to be separated from the hydrocarbon at a later time. This separation is a costly and time consuming operation. Although conventional flow control devices serve the purpose for which they were designed; they can create undesirable restrictions to flow in a direction opposite to that of the produced fluids. Such flow restrictions can slow flow rates of treating fluids being pumped therethrough and hinder proper formation treatment in the process. The industry is therefore always receptive to new devices and methods that alleviate such undesirable characteristics of conventional inflow control devices.
